I saw that the episode was getting a sequel. For me that episode is significant because that was one of the shows that opened my eyes since it has the whole feminism push along with the "evil white male nerd". I remember a review of that episode saying that it was a great stand for girl power and how it stuck it to all the white nerds who think that the 80s were the pinnacle of pop culture. I would've loved to have asked the lady that wrote this article why they keep remaking stuff from the 80s if they were so terrible.
As an 80s baby I do miss the anthology series. As a kid I watched The 80s Twilight Zone reboot, Amazing Stories, Alfred Hitchcock reboot, Tales from the Darkside, Monsters, Hitchhiker, and Tales from the Crypt. Are you afraid of the Dark on Nickelodeon was a good show as well. Black Mirror could've been great but I forgot the time we lived in. They did a good episode about social credit scores but of course the episode that won awards and rave reviews was about lesbians (along with one lesbian living in a home where her Christian parents didn't approve).
So an anthology series "stuck it" to the era that cemented anthology series as a genre?
That's lefties in a nutshell right there.
And for her to bash the 80s when for a while everything in the 80s was getting rebooted. Stranger Things was a massive success based on the 80s.
It's like kidd who shit on Seinfeld but love Family Guy. Seinfeld was good so Family Guy could be mediocre at best.
I’ve seen Gen z going after Seinfeld for being problematic. My parents watched it religiously growing up. At first I didn’t like it but it grew on me and now I love it.
"NOT THAT THERE'S ANYTHING WRONG WITH THAT" couldn't save them from the mob.
We’ve literally been celebrating the 80s since The Wedding Singer that came out in 1997.
